There are so many different types of families, and THE FAMILY BOOK celebrates them all in a funny, silly, and reassuring way.

His quirky humor and bright, childlike illustrations will make children feel good about their families. Parents and teachers can use this book to encourage children to talk about their families and the different kinds of families that exist.

 The Family Book December 16, 2008

This is a short, simple, but necessary book for families and classrooms. Todd compares and contrasts family attributes in a light-hearted manner with illustrations that fit the mood of the book and the ages of the readers. It is a quick read for the youngest learners.
 Homosexual propaganda October 15, 2008

My 2 yr. old checked this book out from the library today. Luckily I read ahead and am great at changing the words into a believable text for the books we read.br /br /When we got to two moms and two dads, I had to change the wording because that is against our beliefs. We believe families are a mom a dad and children, or a hope for children.br /br /I am glad that Amazon gives a wording review so that you can see what you are buying.

Just the right speed to capture a 3 year old boy's attention and make him think/respond to what he was seeing and hearing. The illustrations are just the right speed!

Big, bright, colorful. I'm a single mom, and my 3 year-old appreciated the point of the book: families are all unique special.

Its a sad age when we let our children read books about how homosexuality is normal. God didn't create us that way and our children shouldn't think thats how we should grow up to be. This book takes away the factor that homosexuality if a lifestyle choice and Gos doesn't condone it!
